Type specifiers indicate the format of
the storage associated with a given data object or the return type
of a function. Syntax | |
type-specifier ::=
char
short
int
long
long long
unsigned
signed
float
double
void
struct-or-union-specifier
enum-specifier
typedef-name |
Description | |
Most of the type specifiers are single keywords. (Refer to
Chapter 10 “HP C/HP-UX Implementation Topics” for sizes of
ttypes.) The syntax of the type specifiers permits more types than
are actually allowed in the C language. The various combinations
of type specifiers that are allowed are shown in Table 3-1 “C Type Specifiers ”. Type specifiers
that are equivalent appear together in a box. For example, specifying
unsigned is equivalent
to unsigned int.
Type specifiers may appear in any order, possibly intermixed with
other declaration specifiers. Table 3-1 C Type Specifiers void | char | signed char | unsigned char | short, signed short, short int, or signed
short int | unsigned short, or unsigned short int | int, signed, signed int, or no
type specifiers | unsigned, or unsigned int | long, signed long, long int, or signed
long int | long long, signed long long, long long
int, or signed long long int | unsigned long, or unsigned long int | unsigned long long, or unsigned long
long int | float | double | long double | struct-or-union specifier | enum-specifier | typedef-name |
If no type specifier is provided in a declaration, the default
type is int. Floating-point types in C are float
(32 bits), double
(64 bits), and long double
(128 bits). |
